Joan K. (Leahy) Ferzoco

Joan K. (Leahy) Ferzoco, 73, a longtime resident of Stoughton, died peacefully at Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton on Wednesday, January 8, 2025. Daughter of Barbara A. (Farrell) Silva of Canton and the late John F. Leahy, she was born in Boston and raised in Canton. She was a graduate of Canton High School, Class of 1969 and Massasoit Community College. She resided in Stoughton since 1984. Joan worked for Kemper Insurance in Plymouth and drove for L’eggs for several years before being a homemaker to her family. Her life was marked by resilience and kindness. She could strike a conversation with anyone she met and spread humor and warmth. Joan was the definition of a survivor.

May her memory bring peace and comfort to all who knew and loved her.
